Jazz virtuoso Johnny Smith presents his complete system of chord analysis, scale and arpeggio study, and practical theory application. This is one of the most useful books to be found in any jazz guitarist's library! Lessons include 2-octave scales, 6th chord forms, alterations of chords, resolution exercises, scales and arpeggios, upper extensions from 9th to 13th chords, suspended fourth chords, voicing major and minor chords with a 4th step melody, alterations of upper extended chords, and much more. In order to represent the guitar in the octave it actually sounds, the bass clef is used when appropriate. Book is in actual pitch notation/grand staff notation (treble and bass clefs) per the author's preferences.

This could be the single most important jazz guitar book you ever own. I'm convinced that if all guitarist were to study this book our current instrument would be taken more seriously. I applaud Johnny Smith for writing a book that presents the guitar in actual pitch as opposed...

to being transcribed. What this means is that the book is presented in bass clef and treble clef eliminating the need for multiple ledger lines that are present when the guitar is written only in treble clef. Look at it this way, would you want the piano written only in treble clef with all the ledger lines? It would create a mess. By writing the book in actual pitch one can branch out into other music notably that written for the piano. Imagine studying Bill Evans or any great pianist simply by playing artist transcriptions written for the piano and not having to transcribe them to fit the guitar thatâ€™s what youâ€™ll be able to do if you make serious study of this book.
